  • From Rorty to Gaia

    Jan GolinskiARTICLECommon Knowledge2023Referencias: 27

    This contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium "Whatever Happened to Richard Rorty?" endorses Nicholas Gaskill's analysis of Rorty's limited legacy in the field of science and technology studies. It shows how, rather than engaging with scientific practice in a substantial way, Rorty relied heavily on the ideas of Thomas Kuhn. The article surveys the development of science studies since Kuhn's day, sketching an intellectual genealogy for Brun…

    Bruno Belhoste’s survey of the social geography of the sciences in eighteenth-century Paris was published in French in 2011. It has now appeared in an English translation by Susan Emanuel, with a foreword by Dena Goodman. The bibliography has been updated for the new edition, while a biographical appendix helps one keep track of the most prominent names. Belhoste has synthesized a good deal of secondary literature and added the results of his own…

  • Richard Kirwan and the Royal Irish Academy

    Open AccessJan GolinskiARTICLEHistory of Science2016

    The Irish chemist Richard Kirwan (1733-1812) is remembered among historians for his resourceful defense of the phlogiston theory of combustion, but his pursuit of the sciences of the environment has been little studied. This paper considers his work in Ireland in the 1790s, especially on mineralogy and meteorology, and situates it against the backdrop of elite projects for national improvement and armed insurrection against British rule. Kirwan i…

  • Nathaniel Wolloch. History and Nature in the Enlightenment

    Jan GolinskiARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    Edward Gibbon published his “General Observations on the Fall of the Roman Empire in the West” in 1781, as the conclusion to the third volume of his History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The document has struck many readers as a paradoxical addendum to a narrative of decline, since it argues that the progress of European society is essentially irreversible, at least as regards what Gibbon calls the “useful or ... necessary arts” by…

  • Is It Time to Forget Science? Reflections on Singular Science and Its History

    Jan GolinskiARTICLEOsiris2012Citada por: 4Referencias: 28

    The name history of science reflects a set of assumptions about what science is. Among them is the claim that science is a singular thing, a potentially unified group of disciplines that share a common identity. Long promoted by scientists and philosophers on the basis of a supposedly universal scientific method, this claim now looks very embattled. I trace its development from the early nineteenth century and the growth of the positivist movemen…

  • American Climate and the Civilization of Nature

    Accordingly, descriptions of the American climate became parts of travelers&s; narratives, topographical surveys, and natural histories of the New World. Medical writers, natural and moral philosophers, and historians were all discussing how climate would affect the development of civilization. This chapter explores the roots of the conception of climatic change in eighteenth-century North America. It argues that it arose both from the familiarit…

    This paper describes and analyses a hitherto unknown document of considerable historical significance: a narrative diary of the weather for every day of the year 1703. Available evidence enables us to assign the authorship of the document, with a high degree of probability, to an Oxford graduate residing in rural Worcestershire. The text presents plentiful natural philosophical speculations about the causes of meteorological phenomena, drawing bo…
